Direct Entry Captains.....on the table, probably will have to look at it seriously in about 4 months when a significant amount of current capts walk.
The lack of F/O's will get a Capt spot in accordance with the seniority list, however if Direct Entry Captains are put in place it will be a lose/lose position as this will really annoy the F/O's next on the list.... and no F/O's left, oh, I forgot the 150 hour F/O's. Also I believe the Cadets cannot move to the left seat?
It has been considered. Not sure the current position on this.
